Late 19th century portrait of Elsa Lindberg, an authoress. She turned to her right, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. Lindberg has light brown, curly hair, fair skin, and is wearing a dark collared jacket or coat over a white high-necked garment. She smiles gently, as if she is holding back a secret. Her right hand rests on what appears to be a red book. Caption reads: Out of your harem

Painted in October 1909, the remarkably expressive and dynamic "Both Members of This Club" is the third and largest of Bellows's early prizefighting subjects. The painting's title is a reference to the practice in private athletic clubs of introducing the contestants to the audience as "both members" to circumvent the Lewis Law of 1900 that had banned public boxing matches in New York State. Boxing was a controversial subject, but the interracial theme made this painting even more so, especially since the Black boxer appears to be winning the match. It is likely that Bellows intended "Both Members of This Club" as an allusion to the recent and much-publicized success of the African American professional prizefighter Jack Johnson, who had won the world heavyweight championship in 1908. The idea of a black boxing champion was so unsettling to the prejudiced social order of the time that many thought interracial bouts should be outlawed. Painted at the height of the Jim Crow era, Bellows' powerful delineation of a White fighter about to be defeated by Black opponent was an exceptionally daring and provocative piece of social commentary.

In her frequent depictions of children, Mary Cassatt invested relatively quiet and unexceptional moments with considerable dynamism in handling and composition. "Child in a Straw Hat" is one of many paintings Cassatt made of little girls appearing to play dress-up. But where Cassatt often portrayed girls taking pleasure in the act of role- playing, here the child's expression suggests that she is not enjoying herself, Isolated and required to stand still, her demeanor conveys a mixture of pensiveness, frustration, and boredom. While the subject matter captures a languid moment, the paint is handled energetically. Broad, visible brushstrokes are used throughout the composition, forming abstract patterns in some areas, such as the white sleeves of the blouse and smock. The paint was applied quickly and directly to the canvas, in a manner referred to as "alla prima," which lends an appearance of spontaneity to the work.

Janet Fish grew up in Bermuda and she attributed her fascination with light and intense color to her tropical upbringing. She incorporated exotic vases, richly patterned textiles, sparkling glass and ceramic bowls filled with fruit, and colorful flowers into her composition in a way that is exuberant and energetic. Her objects are painted with fluid strokes of intense color but the subject is really light – how it shapes and reflects off each and every item.

Throughout history, numerous art styles and specific artworks were rejected, banned, or scandalized because they challenged traditional aesthetic standards, religious beliefs, or social norms. These "rejected" styles often went on to redefine the art world.

Hillside was one of the first works by Nakamura purchased by the National Gallery of Canada-it was acquired in 1955. This depiction of a dense forest along the side of a hill is yet another stylistic variant in the artist's exploration of the line between figuration and abstraction, appearance and underlying structure. Hillside is an interesting combination of the brushwork found in the background of Autumn, c. 1950, which would recur in some of his contemporary landscapes, such as Landscape, Green Hillside, 1954, and the spidery lines in his drawings and in Morning Mist, 1951. In this painting, Nakamura seems to be trying to match up a rectilinear application of colour, likely informed by the late work of Paul Cézanne, such as in Mont Sainte-Victoire, 1902-4, with line loosely enclosing the color. He continues to limit his palette to a very small range of colors, predominantly green in this painting, but also some blue. Like Morning Mist, it has a striking a similarity to the greens and blues Vincent van Gogh preferred late in his career. Nakamura admired van Gogh, and his palette may have inspired the yellow color that we find in Hillside.

Warhol did not create many still lifes, which makes his Space Fruit portfolio all the more special. In this series of screen prints from the 1970s, the artist scattered lemons, oranges, cantaloupes, cherries and other fruits across a flat color surface (one type of fruit per composition). In “Space Fruit: Lemons”, the lemons appear with various degrees of detail – some have textured, almost photographic detail while others are simply yellow blobs – and solid pink and blue areas suggesting shadows. The background is a minty green here, but in another run the background is a candy pink. It is an artificial space, with artificial color, without the stability of a table top surface as per more traditional still life compositions. Warhol’s composition is playful and graphic.

The inspiration of this work was by a biblical poem in which a bride reveals her face to her lover. The women surrounding her are modeled by Ellen Smith, an English laundress, Fanny Eaton, of Jamaican heritage, and Kiome Bonnet, of Romany descent. The young boy, whose name is unknown, was brought to London by an American around the time slavery was abolished there. Rossetti's choice of models often challenges rigid Victorian beauty ideals. Yet, the central placement of the white sitter, modelolitical theory. By producing titanic icons of classical liberal, romantic,led by Mary Ford, suggests a racial hierarchy. The luxurious fabrics and jewelery from North Africa and East Asia reflect Victorian fantasies of cultures outside of Europe.
The Beloved by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1865-1866, Tate Britain (London, UK)
